U.S. Women's and Men's Development Sled Hockey Teams To Skate, Scrimmage at USA Hockey Arena

The 2018-19 U.S. Women's and Men's Development Sled Hockey Teams will train this weekend (Sept. 27-30) in Plymouth, Mich., at USA Hockey Arena. The joint training camp, which is the first official camp for both teams, will culminate in a scrimmage between the two teams.

USA Hockey Arena, home of USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program, previously hosted the U.S. Men's Development Sled Hockey Team in January 2017. The facility is a two-sheet facility with regulation ice (85x200) in the main arena and Olympic-size ice (100x200) for the secondary sheet and recently underwent construction to become fully sled-accessible.
